Animevania
Imagine taking all those old anime-styled Castlevanias we all saw and played on Gameboy and putting them all in 3D graphics whilst still making it the same platformer you always knew. Sold.

I can't believe what I'm playing
This is literally a dream come true. The following is a personal opinion from someone who only really plays RPGs and metroidvanias. I absolutely love Symphony of the Night, of course as a pioneer of the genre of course it has some quirks. I absolutely love Aria & Dawn of Sorrow games. Portrait of Ruin was amazing. Order of Ecclesia was almost my favourite castlevania, but brought a little down by some design things I didn't like. Like the lack of an interconnected world mostly, and a world map. But omg the music in it is incredible. This game? This. This is oh my god. All the mechanics and systems in this game take inspiration from the previously mentioned titles. But all is done in such an elegant and a loving way. And it's absolutely gorgeous. And when I got into the main castle and heard The Entrance theme (Luxurious Overture) it literally brought me to tears from such a classic Castlevania nostalgic theme (Michiru Yamane thank you thank you|) and I got the OST immediately (though I will only listen to it when I actually beat the game). I'm actually listening to that theme as I'm writing this review. I got to a point in the game where the map actually opens up in a true metroidvania fashion and it literally doesn't matter what happens next. And the best part is, more content is coming. And what littler bug fixes they will need to do. Game of the decade? Game of the decade. Until proven otherwise. My only regret is not backing this absolute labour of love because of the the Mighty N9 kickstarter debacle. TLDR: If you like 2D castlevania games like Symphony of the Night and later, don't hesitate. This is a definite buy.

Worth the wait! Worth every penny!
I always loved Symphony of the Night, and this is that on steroids! This is easily the best Kickstarter I ever backed! Cannot recommend this game enough!

an excellent Metroidvania
After obtaining the good ending of this game, I can say that this keeps all the excellent things that made the old Castlevania games fun, while providing new stuff that makes the game so much fun. The shortcuts system is brilliant, and is way to make you use different weapons. And the amount of weapons is insane, a lot of possibilities to enjoy discovering the castle. As of 1.05 update, the game does have some bugs, but none gamebreaking. hopefully will be solved with the updates to come. In my opinion this game is worth your money and time. I spent 16 hours getting the good ending but there's still lots of things to do ingame.

Feels like a mix bag of the best mechanics from past Castlevania games. For fans, this is the follow up we were waiting for.
